BY THE AUTHOR. 



" A Creole is one born of European parents, in 
the American colonies of France or Spain, or in 
the Slates, which were once such colonies. Espe- 
cially those of French or Spanish descent who 
are natives of Louisiana and their descendants." 

Marie Tiieeese Bourgeois. 1. Left an orphan 
at a tender age, was placed tinder the care of the 
Ursuline Ktiiis in New Orleans, La., where she mar- 
ried, in 1749, Rene Angnste Chouteau, a native of 
Beam, France. He came to New Orleans in early 
youth and engaged in business, and at the time of 
his death was possessed of considerable means. 

2. Auguste Chouteau, married Marie Therese 
Cerre. 
Auguste Chouteau. 2. Born in New Orleans, 
Sept. 17, 1750. As a youth of 14, in charge of the 
first party of colonists, landed Feb. 15, 176-i, on the 
site of the present city of St. Louis. He superin- 
tended the erection of the first house built, and em- 
ployed the Indian women and children in digging out 
the cellar and carrying the earth away in their 
blankets. 

He was chief clerk of Maxent, Laclede & Co., and 
represented the interest of Mr. Laclede in the new 
settlement. In the words of Mr. Laclede to Col. 
Chouteau, " You will proceed to the site on the left 
bank of the river, where we blazed the trees, and 
erect a house to store the tools and shelter the men.

I give you two men, on whom you can depend, to aid 
you, and I will join you before long." Upon the 
death of Mr. Laclede in 1768, Col. Chouteau settled 
up his estate, and from this time entered into busi- 
ness on his own account. He was then a man of 38, 
grown up with the village, known to all the inhab- 
itants of this upper country, at the head of large 
business interests, was acquiring property, prominent 
in the affairs of the village, a man of education, had 
drawn up the first plat of the village. All this com- 
bined soon made him most prominent in the place, 
and in a very few years Col. Chouteau grew to be 
considered by his contemporaries the founder of the 
place. 

At the transfer to the U. S. in 1S01, Col. Chouteau 
was the most prominent citizen of the place, and 
filled the following positions under the new govern- 
ment : In 1801, presiding justice of the court of Oyer 
and Terminer ; 1S08, appointed colonel of the first 
regiment of militia ; 1809, president of the St. Louis 
board of justices, and commissioner of the U. S. in 
negotiating several treaties with the various tribes of 
Indians in the vicinity. In 1807, he opened a bank- 
ing and brokerage house, the first in the city. In 
1806, was selected chairman at a meeting of the citi- 
zens to ingraft resolutions relating to the "dastardly 
attack on the U. S. ship of war Chesapeake by the 
British ship of war, the Leopard." In 1816 he was 
elected first president of the first regularly organized 
banking house. 

Col. Chouteau never left St. Louis, and died there 
Feb. 21, 1825. He married Sept. 21, 1786, Marie

may overcome it ; I am determined to try and my 
intention is to return to my native State to practice 
law if I can qualify myself, and while doing so to 
become U.S. Senator from my native State, and to 
work for this until I am sixty years of age. I will 
pray to God to give me the resolution to persevere 
in this intention. I have communicated this to my
